Opportunities

art sculpture on campus of oregon state university

PRAx offers residencies and fellowships for scientists, creatives, scholars and students. We specialize in creating opportunities for those working at the intersections of art, science, humanities and/or engineering. PRAx is home to the Spring Creek Project and the Center for the Humanities, both of which offer a range of residency and fellowship programs detailed on this page.

Some opportunities are by application and others are by invitation. Some opportunities are one week and others are two years. Some are for Oregon State students and faculty and others are open to applicants working beyond the university.

Whenever possible, we work with residents to co-create an experience that best supports their research and process. Whether you are a chemist or creative writer, immersive experience designer or engineer, dancer or dendrologist, sound artist or filmmaker, we invite you to explore the opportunities listed on this page.
